Creations With Christina

A Little Top Note and a short video…

Good morning everyone,
Today’s project was inspired by a project on page 80 of the Stampin’ Up! idea catalog.

I used chipboard and Tangerine Tango designer paper to cut out the Top Note and then used the new Matchbox Sizzix Die that is coming out in the April 1st Mini Occasions Catalog.
Stay tuned for a video on the how to assemble the matchbox as well as one on how to make this project.

I finally got my domain running. Someone already had the URL Creations by Christina, but I went to the next best thing…Creations with Christina. I’m very excited. You can still view my blog at the same address as before.

You may notice some crazy banners over the next few days on my blog. I’m just experimenting. I feel like a made scientist….bwahahaha

A quick video for today:

have a great day.

So what’s everyone doing tonight? I’m messing around in the my room trying to decide what my next video is gonna be. If you have anything you would like to see, or a technique you would like me to film. Please comment below.

Anyone reading any good books? I’m reading Joanne Fluke’s book Cream Puff Murder. If you haven’t read her books they are great. The main character owns a cookie shop and throughout the books she has recipes. My mom has made 1 or 2 and they are great.

About today’s card:
So I know what your thinking. Where did she get the great scallop oval from? Well it coming up in the Mini Catalog April 1st and I couldn’t wait to show you. You’ll also find an oval stamp set to go with this scallop oval punch. There are such great things to come April 1st. I can’t wait for you to see it.

Don’t forget time is running out. March 31st ends Sale-a-bration and the 15% off demonstrator sign ups. If you are interested in signing up as a demonstrator either as a business or as a hobbiest, please feel free to contact me at chris416ward@comcast.net and I’ll answer any questions you have and would be happy to sign you up!

I love this little box. I used the Sizzix box #2 die. How cute is it?

One of the first sets of paper I purchased from SU was the Bella Rose paper. I felt a little need to use if yesterday and made 2 of these boxes. They’ll be handy for a teachers gift with some treats inside.

If you would like to purchase any of the products I use please visit my on-line store Here.
